Default SC owners would you drive without an airbag in your steering wheel?

Why or why not?

The reason im asking is because im buying a black lexus 3 spoke steeringwheel without an airbag.
I dont know if i want to spend the money to get the airbag.

to answer your question, when the airbag is not there...it looks ugly hence affecting the looks.

Unless you mean having the OEM steering wheel with an airbag but it isn't connected then yea, that'd look good but it'd be dangerous. haha

I would. My AE86 had an aftermarket steering wheel, and my old GSX didn't have an airbag from the factory. I always wear my seat belt so I'm not that worried about it.

Eh, its kinda iffy for me. I mean on one hand in a low(er) speed crash where the airbag deploys sometimes they cause more harm to you than good. But in a high speed crash they can save your life. Im not willin to take that kinda risk yet, so I will continue to sport a bag.
